<p>I saw the recent inception of Windows/ARM target groups (nice!) and wanted to reach out about wasm as well. I'm not sure that it's really necessary at this time, especially if there's process involved, but if the need arises I'd be happy to help field any wasm-specific questions for targets and such.</p>

<p>I basically want to just extend an invitation that if wasm-specific question arise I'm happy to be pinged to help out (and I suspect others would be too!). I also suspect, however, that the need for a whole target group is much more urgent for Windows/ARM than it is for wasm, which is much more nascent still.</p>

<p>we can have just one meta page as you've said and also if there's some particular information about a target group we can briefly explain it there</p>

<p>I was thinking there's likely others interested too, but tbh it's mostly me at this point and if it's just me getting pinged it may not be worthwhile having a whole group</p>
